This year’s MLB Home Run Derby is special for a variety of reasons, but scheduling is perhaps the most important one.
This is the only live sporting event until Thursday – unless you’re a fan of ATP Tennis or Liga MX from Mexico.
That means all eyeballs will be on this Dodger Stadium derby on Monday night, where Pete Alonso is looking to defend his back-to-back championships.
There are plenty of other familiar faces, too. Kyle Schwarber, Ronald Acuna Jr., Juan Soto and even octogenarian Albert Pujols will suit up tonight to see who can rock the most dingers into Chavez Ravine’s parking lot.
